Let the kids have a little fun off the sand at this special event that combines a world of fun, games and activity in one of the most picturesque destinations in Corolla village. The Kid’s Day in the Park at Whalehead is a weekly event that’s held every Thursday in the summer months, and which features a wealth of games that will have kids of all ages grinning from ear to ear.

The event takes place on the sprawling grounds of the Historic Corolla Park, and features a bounce house, a variety of games and / or crafts, and a special children’s tour of the historic Whalehead Club, called the “Joan’s Way Tour.” The event lasts throughout the day, but the tour itself takes place at 3:00 p.m., and space is limited to just 30 children. (Families will want to reserve their spot in advance to ensure they can take a step back in time, and enjoy an in-depth look at the Whalehead Club through a child’s eyes.) The tour is $5.00, but the rest of the event is completely free, and families are welcome to linger to enjoy the stunning park setting on the edge of the Currituck Sound. Fun for all ages, this special event will show kids how fun the OBX can be, both on and off the beach.
